Our new favorite rental

This house, set on a private bluff overlooking spectacular ocean waves crashing onto the rocks, was the perfect place for us and our active dogs. The kitchen was bright and well equipped. The fully fenced yard had plenty of room for the dogs to chase balls. We are so glad that we found this gem of a property!

Stunning Views

Beautiful home and property with breathtaking views and all the amenities needed. The sofa and main bedroom mattress (a little creaky) could maybe use updating, but apart from that, it’s pretty darn perfect.

A Magical Retreat

We surprised my mother-in-law and brought her here for her 60th birthday. She had no idea! From the convenient parking to the breathtaking view, this place was an amazing stay! They had plenty of blankets and pillows and our whole family felt safe and secure. It was very clean and organized, the hot tub was magnificent. The yard was perfect for our dogs as they had plenty of room to roam and were safe and secure. Many spacious places to sleep and the fire pit with the deck and chairs was just a perfect experience. Thank you again so much and we will be back!

Waves a plenty

We lived on the Great Highway in San Francisco our first two years of marriage. We celebrated our 49th anniversary with the many waves the ocean had to offer. We have an Ariya and would have taken our 220V connection if the property had that as an amenity. Definitely a plus.
